1 Nearshore Pink Shrimp Densities and Habitat Limitations in Biscayne Bay: A Saptiotemporal Analysis of 10 Years of Data Ian C. Zink 1,2, Joan A. Browder 2, Diego Lirman 1, Joseph E. Serafy 1,2 GEER Apr. 20 th, 2017 Coral Springs, FL 1 University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL 2 NOAA NMFS SEFSC, Miami, FL
2 Pink Shrimp: Farfantepenaeus duorarum Marsh Mangrove Seagrass Reef Pelagic Modified from Criales et al. 2007
3 Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Yesterday Today Tomorrow Biscayne Bay Salinity Interim Goal: reestablish common mesohaline to oligohaline conditions in mainland near shore zones, and reduce the frequency and rapidity of salinity fluctuations derived from pulse releases of fresh water from canals. RECOVER 2008 Biscayne Bay Pink Shrimp Abundance Interim Goal: increase juvenile pink shrimp density at peak abundance during the August-October period in optimal habitat (seagrass).2 m -2 in nearshore optimal habitat from Shoal Point to Turkey Point RECOVER 2005
4 Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands Project (BBCWP)
5 Biscayne IBBEAM Bay - Epifaunal EpifuanalMonitoring: Survey: 10 Yrs 10 Years+ ( ) FIELD: Water Temperature ( C), Salinity (ppt), Water Depth (m), Sediment Depth (m), Species Specific Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) % Cover, SAV Canopy Height (cm), Epifaunal Community In Triplicate LABORATORY: Sorting, Identification, Carapace Length (CL: mm), Total Length (TL: mm), Sex, Database Compilation, Quality Control
6 Study Objectives: 1) Establish baseline juvenile pink shrimp density trends (pre-restoration) 2) Identify environmental factors that limit juvenile pink shrimp density 3) Quantify spatiotemporal trends in juvenile pink shrimp densities Analyses were conducted with α = 0.10
7 Results: Quantile Regression Temperature: Quadratic Salinity: Log-Linear Water Depth: Quadratic SAV % Cover: Linear
8 Results: Spatiotemporal Density and Habitat Trends Wet Avg. Density: 0.61 ± 1.06 m -2 Dry Season Avg. Density: 1.11 ± 1.49 m -2 Significant season and year effects (PERMANOVA) 12.2 % of observations >2 shrimp m -2 (n = 114, N = 940) 5% year-seasons (2006D) not sig. diff. from 2 shrimp m % of sites (n=7) not sig. diff. from 2 shrimp m -2
9 Results: Procrustean Analyses Shrimp Density Salinity Temperature 2005D Water Depth SAV % Cover 2014W m 2 X,Y r r 2 p value Temperature < Salinity < Water Depth SAV % Cover S Sampling Sites N
10 Results: Spatiotemporal Density Hierarchical Clusters
11 Results: Site Clusters Correlations
12 Results: Year-Season Clusters Correlations
13 Results: Year-Season Clusters Correlations
14 Conclusions and Implications: CERP Adaptive Management Pink shrimp density higher in dry season Present Interim Goal focus is wet season (i.e., late summer/early fall): change focus to dry season? Shrimp densities are presently below target (for the most part ) Canal Zone: salinity stability yielding increased in SAV cover: direct and indirect density improvements? Will mesohaline shoreline target improve pink shrimp abundance? Expansion of mesohaline conditions could negatively impact pink shrimp abundance if mesohaline <10 ppt but reductions of hypersalinity and extreme salinity variability should positively impact abundance Pink shrimp believed to exhibit (species-specific) seagrass association Pink shrimp limited by total SAV % cover, not individual seagrass spp.
